Briefing
airBaltic delivered measurable growth in 2025 (5,206,700 passengers, +1.4% y/y; 47,600 flights, +2.6%) while load factor softened to 80.2% and December demand remained stable at ~422,900 — a snapshot of growth with rising capacity.
The result underpins strategic shifts: it reinforces the carrier's all‑A220 fleet build‑out (see recent A220 deliveries) and supports the announced move to bring more fleet operations in‑house (source:6918c010) (source:6b9308eb).
Planned network additions and deeper partner ties will interact with capacity and transfer traffic next summer; see airBaltic's Summer 2026 route increases and expanded codeshare activity for context (source:f5e81e22) (source:e3066b5f).
